    Why?

    Yes, injuries can happen at anytime but way risk players in matches that they don't need to play?

    Our reserves need minutes and this Micky mouse tie is perfect for them to get it in a real match.

    We need to get certain players up to speed in case they're required.

    This was an awful tie.. a no lose game really!

    You can’t go into the FA cup thinking like that in our position. We could just as easily get injuries in training, i get it
    We're a league 2 side. Talk of resting players for an FA cup tie is absurd just in case we might pick up an injury. What next? We gonna stop them training as well?

    Funnily enough, I was listening Gary Bowyer's pre match press conference and he agrees with Fordy. He said something along the lines of resting key players if we're still ravished with injuries and talked about a cup run costing him at Blackburn when fatigue set in. He clearly acknowledges the risk involved and is seemingly not going to take any chances in positions where we are already threadbare. The right thing to do imo.

    Injuries can occur at any moment. From Bowyer's point of view I suppose he'll want to reduce the chances of that happening and for good reason too. Another Devitt scenario in midfield and we're screwed. It's a fine balance between risk and reward- giving up the tie entirely and playing a full strength 11 is just going from one extreme to another.

    Most of us have been telling you that all season, glad you've eventually got it :thumbup:.
    I know I shouldn't ask but what have the 60s to do with anything ?.

    If there's no January recall clause then they might.

    That's good.. with 5 mins to go it's looking a bit empty in here...

    Problem with cheap season tickets I suppose. People can afford to miss games and rather watch a repeat of the dull fa cup draw from yesterday from the comfort of their home.

    If he was a Second West regular he'd have known that.
